Koforidua, Ghana – The CA Foundation has donated hospital beds and essential medical equipment worth GH¢400,000 to the Eastern Regional Hospital and St. Joseph Catholic Hospital in Koforidua in a move aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery and helping to address Ghana's persistent "no-bed syndrome."
